max_scsi_luns under 2.6 kernel

[Mike Burger]

I found a work around, at 
http://www.linux-sxs.org/hardware/flashreaders.html

    *  As root, create and run the following script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 2" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 3" > /proc/scsi/scsi
cat /proc/scsi/scsi

I modified it to point to scsibus 1 (replaced the leading 0 on each line 
with a 1), and commented out the 4th line, altogether (my reader only has 
3 slots), and it appears to work.

Still, using something like the max_scsi_luns parameter (or whatever that 
parameter is under the 2.6 kernels), the kernel should pick up on the fact 
that there are multiple slots and assign them, accordingly.  If there's a 
correct parameter to use, instead of adding these commands (or a script 
with them) to my rc.local file, I think it would be cleaner.
